[Bug 471951] New: Cursor keys do not work properly in vim in xterm
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471951 Summary: Cursor keys do not work properly in vim in xterm Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jdluhos@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- When the vim editor is started in xterm, cursor keys do not work as expected; they tend to jump over words (as if Shift was permanently pressed). The H, J, K, L keys work normally. This happens only in xterm; other terminals (tried with gnome-terminal) seem to be unaffected. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What's the version of xterm? The issue might be the tcap-query feature (see xterm's changelog).
Hi Thomas, it is xterm 239 as I wrote in one of the above comments. Thanks for the hint about tcap-query, I'll retry with allowTcapOps: false and update the bug. Michal --------------- And indeed, it works for me with $ xterm -xrm '*.vt100.allowTcapOps: false' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
